The present invention provides a process for producing a diacylglycerol,
which comprises, reacting triacylglycerol with water and an enzyme
preparation to obtain a mixture comprising of diacylglycerol,
monoacylglycerol and free fatty acid; removing water content in the
mixture by way of dehydration; and separating monoacylglycerol, free
fatty acid and residual triacylglycerol by at least one separation method
to obtain a high-purity diacylglycerol. An oil or fat composition
comprising of diacylglycerol obtained from the said process and
phytosteryl esters and/or ferulic acid esters in an amount of from 0.5%
to 25% by weight of diacylglycerol is also provided.
